Interview
ML Fundamentals + Coding I interviewed with two groups. The first group I interviewed with decided I would be a better fir for the second one. Both groups had their own separate interview processes and the feedback from the first didn't really carry over, but that was not too bad, though I would have preferred not to have repeated the interview rounds.
